This article considers psychological disorders in the light of several virtues and vices.

Abstract: The authors investigated the associations between attachment, empathy,
rumination, forgiveness, and depressive symptoms via the framework of
attachment theory. Participants (N = 221; 141 F and 80 M) completed a
battery of questionnaires. We hypothesized that (a) anxious and
avoidant attachment would be negatively linked to dispositional
forgiveness; (b) the anxious attachment-forgiveness link would be
mediated through excessive rumination; (c) the avoidance
attachment-forgiveness link would be mediated through lack of empathy;
and (d) the insecure attachment-depression relation would, in turn, be
partially mediated by the forgiveness process. SEM modeling confirmed
these propositions, revealing the potential deleterious outcomes
associated with insecure attachment and unforgiving responses to
offenses.
